Note the artillery in Iraq. Not just air strikes. Whose artillery? Iraq? Who aimed it for them?

If this is what we are doing let's quit it. It isn't worth our risk. We have been at war long enough. The 1% are paying for the less than 1% to fight and the rest of the nation just effs around.
DoD don't make this real easy to find. Go to http://www.defense.gov/News
All Kabuki.
1. The shameless Pentagon and the White Mosque support
Islam including al Qaeda against Jews, Christians,
Israel, Egypt, Americans, etc. etc.
2. The White Mosque is a PROVEN Moslem liar with
no documentation. No SS#. No BC.
So, along with $4 million per man training costs, what do we get here... corresponding $4 million per enemy wound?

Some nice secondary explosions seen on some of these targets... You can judge the accuracy of the strikes by the number of “aloha snackbars” coming from the observers
but the piece de resistance is at 13:14 in the video, where the Russians announce that their ship-based missiles are being launched by women, sending ISIS to hell at the hands of women!
Nice Touch Putin!
“The 1% are paying for the less than 1% to fight”
Hello, Minister Farrakhan.
This is BS. For over a year not a word. Then suddenly we start with this “me too!”
We have supposedly been bombing the snot out of them for 13 or 14 months. How do they have anything left?
The Russians embarrassed them. And sounds like no strikes against any other rebels. They are exactly the same.
The idea that ISIS is different from any other rebels is a loony US Govt McCain/Obama fantasy.
Those Thermobarics are awesome, lol, they guy is like “Is that a Nuke?”
Coalition 2
Russia
Iran
Syria
Cuba
China
North Korea
Egypt?!
Plus cost of his invite to the Hut as a survivor on the war on Islam.
Is it me or - does it seem that the frequency of these attacks have increased since Vlad went into the AO?
Reading the list of damages, the word ‘pinprick’ came to mind. A few mortars, a few Toyota trucks, a building or two. Pathetic.
The Russian have been hitting about 40-60 targets per day but sources indicate they are going to go up to 300 sorties
Once they take Aleppo, then on to Raqqa
Meanwhile, for our part, the US in past week has bombed 3 power stations, leaving Aleppo (Syria’s 3rd largest city) without electricity ...
Gee, you’d think instead of killing headchoppers, we the USA are trying to leave the government forces and civilians with scorched earth
This is a B.S. Report.
The Russians are now doing it, and now the Administration is pretending they are actually going after ISIS.
EVERYBODY KNOWS, they did not do JACK $HIT to ISIS prior to The Russians pouring 1,000 new troops into Syria everyday.
Now they are trying to take credit for something they did not do.
LIES.... ALL LIES!!!
NONE of what I posted concerns Russian attacks.
These reports have been made by DoD regularly for a long time. Same kind of results, tactical destroyed, excavator destroyed, machine gun destroyed, fighting position destroyed, fighter wounded etc.
These are not me too reports. These are regular reports in press releases by DoD each day that are not reported on by the lame stream media.
They have not increased. They have not been reported on much at all though.
A-10 and Apaches are out hunting every day for targets of opportunity as are other aircraft but mostly those other AC come back with full weapons loads.
I heard about the power stations but did not see them on the DoD reports like this one I have posted.

BS. The Russians are bombing anyone that’s not on Assad’s side, and sometimes that includes ISIS. Obama’s trying to take the credit for it.
